It's Burke's Law

Found October 07, 2011 on Cub Reporter: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Kyler Burke
TEAMS: Chicago Cubs

LHP (ex-OF) Kyler Burke threw three innings of no run/no hit ball with five strikeouts and Jeimer Candelario and Dan Vogelbach cracked back-to-back RBI singles in the top of the 8th to tie the game at 3-3, but the Mariners pushed across a run in the bottom of the 8th to take back the lead and added three more in a tack-on 9th to defeat the Cubs 7-3 in AZ Instructional League action this afternoon at Mariners Field #2 at the Peoria Baseball Complex in Peoria, AZ. The game was extended an extra half-inning so that Cubs LHRP Andrew McKirahan could get his pre-scheduled one inning of work, but he probably wishes the team had just gone home after the top of the 9th with a 4-3 loss because he surrendered two long home runs (one to Phillips Castillo and the other to Jaban Blash) in the bottom of the 9th, In addition to his game-tying RBI single, Dan Vogelbach walked three more times today, giving him seven walks in his last 12 Plate Appearances (over three games). So far at Instructs, ...

Epstein to Cubs, Castro to Sox?

Via Ted's Army  |  October 06, 2011
It's a foregone conclusion that the Cubs are going to be coming hard after Epstein.  It's been reported that the Sox are going to let Epstein interview for the job.  All that's left to be determined (in addition to Epstein and the Cubs agreeing to join forces) is what compensation the Sox will receive for giving Chicago its GM. The hot name on the list, mostly...

Cubs Clip Angel Wings at Fitch Park

Via Cub Reporter  |  October 08, 2011
Six pitchers combined to throw a two-hitter, and the Cubs scored once in the 6th to break a 1-1 tie and take the lead and two more insurance runs in the 7th to provide the final margin of victory, defeating the Angels 4-1 in AZ Instructional League action this morning at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa. The Angels took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st inning against Cubs starter Charles...

I’m So Into Starlin, I’m A Regular Castronomer

Via Razzball  |  October 07, 2011
I didn’t drop the ball on the keeper posts, things took precedence during the season.  But, guess what?  Keepers are back every Friday, so let’s talk keepers, boo.  In fact, let’s talk Starlin Castro.  That commie bastage.  In 2011, his line looked like 91/10/66/.307/22.  That was hitting third or higher (mostly leadoff) for a Cubs team that found a bread...

Geiger Blast Can't Counter Pitchers Wild Ride through Fitch Park

Via Cub Reporter  |  October 06, 2011
Reggie Golden and Jeimer Candelario ripped back-to-back doubles to score one run and Dustin Geiger clubbed a three-run HR onto 8th Street to plate three more, but the Diamondbacks took advantage of eight walks, a HBP, six wild pitches, and two errors to defeat the Cubs 7-4 in AZ Instructional League action this afternoon at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa. LHP (ex-OF) Matt Spencer...

HE's an 800-pound gorilla in the room

Have the Chicago Cubs asked the Red Sox for permission to talk with Theo Epstein about being their general manager?...

Via A Large Regular  |  October 06, 2011
Theo to the CubsThere has been so much smoke about Theo Epstein going to the Chicago Cubs to be their new GM that you have to think that there is really something to the story. Consider that the "organization" used house organ Dan Shaughnessy to announce that the Cubs had indeed asked permission. The club could have quietly said no. But they didn't do that. Announcing...
